A simple three-step guide to approaching poetry. Perfect for helping students to analyse poetry in lessons (including GCSE anthology poems). Also a useful technique to memorise for tackling unseen poetry in exams.

This resource includes a simple three-step approach, and a detailed table with explanation of the poetry-analysis mnemonic, ‘I Cant Stand Vicious Lemons’ (ICSVL). The ICSVL table includes lists of language and structural techniques that students can look out for in poetry.

This resource can be used as a poster, printed for students’ revision, or turned into poetry mats as part of a classroom resources corner.

NB. A helpful companion to this is the ‘Literary Terms Revision Posters / Flashcards (126 slides)’ also in my shop - that particular resource contains 126 slides of more in-depth definitions for around 200 literary terms/devices, from ‘alliteration’ to ‘zoomorphism.’
